Safe Mosquito Control in Rain Barrels for Carnivorous Plant Watering

Safe Mosquito Control in Rain Barrels for Carnivorous Plant Watering

Never use bleach in rain barrels—residual chlorine harms sensitive plants. Instead, use mosquito dunks containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). This bacterium specifically targets mosquito larvae and is safe for humans, pets, wildlife, and carnivorous plants.

Application

Float dunks in barrels according to package directions. We use them regularly in our Sarracenia pools with excellent results. Available at garden centers and online.

Good growing!
